Need One Say More?

I try to keep abreast of the curent items in the press and media. As reported in the Associated Press former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan reported in his new book about the "Permanent Campaign Era." , which all boils down to manipulation and misleading of public opinion on a continuous basis on all topics. Need one say more?
So just what have I been writing to all these years? Frankly, it is what We the People have decided to buy into and believe, simply summed up in one word, "trust". Now that is the 50% of us who like these types. Of course the 50% of us who don't trust them at all, not in the least we already knew this. Well we are back to half empty / half full again. Isn't it sad the 50% who trust them will give us who don't trust them, the same ones all over again? And we allow it.
So in my opinion and as I have stated time after time after time this is the Easter Bunny buyers. Yes, all wrapped and packaged for consumption it is consumed as if the last supper. Now rhetorically of course, I ask, just where and when, let me ask this again, just where and when and by what they have done or failed to do, in their, thoughts, words, deeds to have people develop this trust and why? It has got to be all wrapped up in one word MONEY.
Why do I say this? Well, are we not split as a nation over Iraq? Are we not split or divided as a nation over Comprehensive Immigration? Are we not divided over many more issues? In fact issue after issue after issue. The answer of course is yes. So here we have someone who was in the inner circles of government telling us truthfully what he has experienced. How aggressively will he be attacked? Yes he will no longer be a good man but a confused, misguided, wrong man, negatively portrayed in all ways. Why, simple, he spoke the truth. Yes even as I write that is happening. Strange in my opinion how it must continue one lie after the other. Yes and to even think that this is somehow different in Congress or with our Representatives or Senators or any other branches or agencies of government and power is in my opinion to be, well beyond bovine. Certainly not all but to think not the majority, well, what can one add? As they say in the movie "you can't fix stupid", or, just maybe you have something to gain and really like what they do? Hey in my opinion one or the other.
Now certainly there will be the die hard's who flock to, defend and find every reason not to agree with this opinion. Yet, in my opinion they cannot offer any real argument, evidence, works, substance but what is before us all. They have not done so to date. Yes once again, in what they have done or failed to do. These are in my opinion people who have done well under this system. They are the ones in my opinion who's character represents those they support in beliefs. They are the ones in my opinion who we can determine where their heart is regardless of what is professed by their stance.
So how do you, yes, do any who do, continue to vote, support and like these individuals? It is simple and like I have been saying and it is that which you do not care to address, you must be in my opinion one in the same as they? No, this is not about "I Like them" with no substance. No, this is about you and yours, your family, your loved ones and how you and they have been impacted good or bad and if you want that to continue? Now if you are for them and you're way of life and preserving what you have, no problem. Yet if it is at the expense, exploitation, abuse, use and destruction of another just please don't profess what you are not. One can respect one's position stance, opinion much better if it were stated openly, "show me the money" as the movie line goes. However, only we individually know who we really are. It is not what we project or profess, that is the marketing we do, but by our works we are known. So when you millions go and vote for these same ones who have brought this down upon us all, for good or bad, we know as I stated who you are and you do as well.
I will also offer some as believing and trusting them becuase they dream and hope and while they dream and hope and wish for, the hype continues. However, all dreams are converted by action. Just show me that action and do not give me excuses because frankly, there are none to render.
So while some will say this is only Bush's administration, one would have to reflect once again and ask, is that really so and if not then why, trust?

Top-level comments on this article: (1 total)Scott McClellan's book is on the best seller list. You mean all of this is a surprise to the American people. Like you Mr. Melaccio we knew all along what was going on in the white house. I don't need to read the book. Bush's administration is an open book in itself. a very bad book.Please log in to respond to this comment.Yes, David it is a best seller and yes in my opinion it must be a suprise to at least 50% of all eligible American voters who evidently don't or didn't believe it to be so. They have to buy the book to find out and they still vote for these types. As for the rest of us who knew, well frankly, how sad we did nothing and yes do nothing. We allow it to continue. What does that say about us? All the best wishes.Please log in to respond to this comment.
